What a mixed bag. Conditions - windy and showery with snow at 600m+ and rain at lower levels on/off all day. Wind in Crianlarich at sea level about 14mph (met office), at 1000m, felt more like 30mph, didn't impede walking but it had hail in it and was definitely noticeable for walking efficiency. Summer ascent with good vis until 500m, hit the snow line at 600m and then the clag came in and vis dropped rapidly (abt 100m?) at just short of 800m and until we dropped below it at the bealach between summits. Tops seemed to clear as we reached the bealach on the way back! D'oh! Used B2's, axes in hand above 800m, crampons only used for efficiency descending from Stob Binnean to bealach as it was icy. Route: Benmore Farm - Ben More south face, across bealach to Stob Binnean and return by Ben More burn to road. Nice day.
